News item posted: 19 June 2017

In response to the report from the Commission on the Future of
Health and Social Care in England published today by the King's
Fund, Lord Victor Adebowale, Chief Executive of Turning Point
said;

"I fully agree that a new approach which sees care designed
around individual need, not simply diagnosis, is paramount. We need
to move to a single integrated budget that follows the individual
and brings services together. At the heart of this move is the
knowledge that the distinction between health and social care does
not mean anything to the patient; patients want excellent care that
meets their individual needs. We need to ensure that funding
reflects this."
